I disagree. I see it as an extra layer of security. If DOD had a network with address space 'X', obviously it's not advertised to the outside. It never interacts with public network. Having it duplicated on the outside

Never is a -very- long time. That said, -IF- DoD did authorize another party/contractor to utilize some DoD address blocks, its not clear if that LOA would be public. /bill
